Superdad
Superdad is a 1973 American comedy film by Walt Disney Productions starring Bob Crane, Barbara Rush, Kurt Russell, Joe Flynn, and Kathleen Cody and directed by Vincent McEveety.
Charlie McCready (Bob Crane) tries to wrest his daughter Wendy (Kathleen Cody) from her childhood friends, who he believes have no ambition. He especially disapproves of her boyfriend, Bart (Kurt Russell). Initially he makes a few attempts to bridge the generation gap, but to no avail. For instance, he attempts to impress his daughter's friends by trying his hand at beach volleyball and water skiing, but both attempts result in humiliating accidents.
Late in the summer, Wendy receives a letter informing her that she has won a full scholarship to her parents' alma mater, Huntington College. Unbeknownst to her, the letter is fake; her father has paid the first year's tuition himself and had a friend at the college send the letter to her. He did this so Wendy would not attend City College with Bart and her other friends.
Charlie later visits Wendy at Huntington, and discovers that the college has changed considerably since he attended there. Wendy later discovers his plot, and joins the campus counterculture as a way of getting even. She inadvertently becomes engaged to a hippie artist named Klutch. Charlie attempts to intervene on her behalf, and ends up in a fistfight with Klutch. Bart comes to the rescue. At this point, Charlie learns that Bart had turned down a scholarship to Huntington College so he could be near Wendy who he had correctly believed not to been awarded of a scholarship there. The film ends with Wendy's marriage to Bart.
The film's score was written by Buddy Baker. The film features three original songs by Shane Tatum. "These Are the Best Times" was sung by Bobby Goldsboro and played during the film's opening credits. A group of altar servers reprises the song as Wendy (Kathleen Cody) processes into the church for her wedding during the film's final scene. "Los Angeles" was sung by the cast as Stanley (Bruno Kirby) drives the group of friends back to the McCready's home from the beach in his boss's ambulance. "When I'm Near You" plays on the radio at Wendy's birthday party in the McCready's home.
The film appeared on an episode of The Wonderful World of Disney.
This film was released by Walt Disney Home Video through VHS in September 1985. Superdad was also later released on DVD exclusively to members of the Disney Movie Club on June 1, 2008.
A poster for Superdad can be seen in a subway car in the original 1974 version of the film Death Wish.
